Summary:
In the US trucking industry, parking availability is a critical issue. ATRI estimates for every 11 truck drivers, there is only 1 truck spot available. To address this imbalance, we are developing a model to predict when and where drivers can find satisfactory parking while they are on the road. In addition, we are assisting policy makers, truck stop owners, and other stakeholders by recommending new locations to expand the current truck stop infrastructure.
